On July the 2nd, after all the excitement of moving is over, and my Internet is up and running, I'm making the big switch to Debian Linux.
No Dual-Boot
No Windows Emulator
Strait up, in your face Debian Linux baby!!

Debian suffers from growing pains in the first few months, once it stops teething and starts biting all is well.

Depends what you use it for i guess. I just perfer debain because there is no hidden crap. You can change any setting you want. This does make it more difficult to do some simple things, but hey, i guess i am part masicist!

Mandrake is easy to use and good for multimedia, Debian is for hard-core Linux junkies, or masochists, slackware is really fast (but horribly unstable [for linux that is]). There are so many different distros,and linux is so customisable you can use any of them for anything really.
